If you have puss then it is infected. Other signs of infection are swelling and redness. You need to clean it with peroxide and see a doctor. You probably will need antibiotics to get rid of the infection especially being exposed to as many germs as the mouth is. (CONTINUE READING)
Ok, professional piercer here. These people don't know what they're talking about. FIRST, NEVER EVER put peroxide on a piercing, if it turns out NOT infected, then you've just created an unnecessary problem by drying out and irritating your piercing. Swelling and redness happens with every lip piercing but excessive amounts shouldn't be ignored. If you have a little bit of white puss, I'm talking a very minimum amount that forms crusts at your piercing, then it's not infected. but if it is green, don't put ANYTHING on it and head to the doctor to get antibiotics (and if he wants to put peroxide on it then let him). DO NOT take the jewelry out if you suspect an infection, if you take the jewelry out the infection heals inside of your body which can cause major trouble in the long run. If you do get an infection, after getting some meds, notify your piercer and file a report with your state's health inspector.

Make Sure you keep it clean with mouthwash and salt water
Nope, i've had my tongue pierced, and i didn't have to take my lip piercing out.
Wait 4-6 weeks after getting a lip piercing to change the jewelry in it
A lip piercing hurts more than a belly button piercing, but neither hurt much at all. Getting your lip feels like you accidentally bit it haha and you can barely feel a belly button piercing.
For your upper lip, Left is a monroe piercing. The bottom lip could just be a lip piercing, or labret piercing.
Stop touching it so it can heal.
No, lip piercings are not gay and they are getting even more popular throughout the year
14g is normal for a male lip piercing, 16g is normal for a female lip piercing.
I have personally done this before, i got my right lip piercing re-pierced in the exact same spot and no it doesn't hurt, it feels the same as getting your first lip piercing.
Any piercing has a chance of getting infected.
